--- Comment #9 from kivi <[email protected]> ---
I have been a certified Windows and Linux system administrator for many years.
But lately I mostly deal with Linux cases where almost 100% of users use
LibreOffice. 
And so I've seen a lot of problems with LibreOffice in real life, which is why
I take the liberty of disagreeing with the last comment.

Connecting to the network is not a big problem for ordinary users because they
use DHCP and everything is automatic for them.
It is a problem to then work directly with their files on the file server, as
they are used to with Microsoft and Windows file servers. 

And they insist on doing it the same way and refuse to download the file
locally, work with it and upload it back to the server. 
There are people who are convinced that they cannot work with the files on the
server because it "is not a Microsoft File Server but some kind of Samba
Server, for which nothing is written in the documentation". Then they demand
that they be provided with Microsoft File Server + Microsoft Office so they can
do their jobs. 

This wouldn't happen so often if, in the LibreOffice documentation, someone
would add a dozen lines that explain things in a nutshell - how LibreOffice can
and should work with Samba Server with one or two useful examples - concise but
comprehensive so as not to we push users away, justifying that we save
resources and cause unnecessary additional work on documentation.
